The city’s expansive plan to replace or add sidewalks along the East Main Street corridor took a step forward this week when the City Council awarded a bid to Costa & Son LLC, based in South Windsor, for $768,625.80. The project will include new sidewalks along the north side of Route 202/East Main Street, from Fern Drive easterly to Torringford West Street, totaling approximately 4,600 feet. The proposed improvements include traffic signal modifications, installation of ADA-compliant concrete sidewalks and sidewalks ramps, granite curbing, pavement markings and replacement of catch basin tops. The project is fully funded under the Responsible Growth and Transit-Oriented Development (RG/TOD) Planning Grant Program from the state Department of Transportation. Torrington conducted public input studies and forums on the sidewalk plan in 2021, inviting residents and business owners to participate. The plan was developed using that input, focusing on problem areas for pedestrians and traffic, officials said.
